Don't turn your back on people with different opinions. They have equal rights to this forum as you have. I agree everyone has a right to have their own opinions, negative or positive. However, read some of these quotes from the AICN talk backs on Knight Rider (curses edited): "Sh*t Rider is o...

Re: It's crazy, A bunch of KR2008 haters on aintitcool.com

The thing is, it's very "in" right now to be cynical. Just pick up a copy of "Entertainment Weekly" and read through it. The tone of the magazine is 90% snarkiness with a dab of reporting. Aintitcool's talk backs reflect this attitude. I've been reading AICN since 1999 or thereab...

Re: KNIGHT RIDER GETS A FULL SEASON!!!!!

Quite a few people have joined him in trashing Knight Rider, probably just a bunch of punks who's football team just lost or something. People take it out of others for no reason. I've never understood this mentality. If you don't like something, why sit there and waste time bashing it? Just walk a...

Re: Knight rider article in the new Starlog

I think it would be very hard not to empathize with where GST wants this show to go and what he wants it to be after reading that article. He wants action and light popcorn fare, but at the same time he recognizes two of the critical elements of KR: cool technology and the relationship between Mike ...

Re: I'm Batman and Kitt.

I'd go with Clooney. He could pull of a broad vocal range with ease, especially if they wanted to make KITT cocky or a smart ass. He can also do serious, which is crucial.

Re: How do you think Knight Rider Jumps the Shark?

However, the flames cause all of Sarah and Mike's clothes to burn off, but mysteriously their makeup and hair will be in perfect...

Re: A good question - why had KI2T not a female voice?

As I understand it, KR was sold as a "buddy cop" type show except one of the partners was a car. If that is indeed the case, then it makes sense since back in the 80's most cop/hero pairings were two guys and not a man and a woman.

Re: Live Discussion Thread: A Hard Day's Knight

I wonder if Part of the reason Kitt seems impersonal at the moment has anything to do with Val Kilmar's inexperience with voice work? The only VO work I've seen VK do is in "The Prince of Egypt". His work in that movie showed he could emote very well in a VO situation, so I'm sure his por...

Re: Building anticipation with attack mode

While I am a fan of the transformation, I agree that it should be used for more thematic and dramatic purposes than just to wow us for 10-30 seconds. "A Hard Day's Knight" felt like the closest we've come so far to KITT's attack mode serving a purpose as he chased the van.

I'd love to have the fates of the original crew addressed, but I think as a fan of the original KR I think that's assumed. :) One thing I really want to see are more practical stunts with KITT. Right now a scene of KITT driving on two wheels, crashing through a wall or something to that effect would...

I was reading EW (the one with Star Trek on the cover) and wow, their tone is rather harsh overall in that magazine! Even shows they like get tons of snarky remarks, so I think it's just the way the magazine works.

But Wilton Knight wanted someone who helped the innocent, the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law. The FBI isn`t helpless.

Then there's the scanners. Is it me, or do they seem more reliant on other technology than they used to be? The third episode was the most extensive use of the scanners yet.

If the doors can open normally in Attack Mode, then why do they have the Lambo doors at all? I'm not going to be disingenuous and claim that most of the reason isn't for looks, it clearly is. However, lambo doors are also useful if you're in a spot where opening your doors wide is not an option and...

i think he is a big letdown, he is doing the show like he wants it. the original mythology is lost, Mike is still the son of Michael Long/Knight.
